Bro chains himself to SUNY Albany Fountain

Local UAlbany student (and desperate attention-seeker) Chris Schewe threatened earlier this week to chain himself to the Fountain at SUNY Albany to protest the Administration’s decision to cancel Fountain Day.

Your foot pic cracked me up! He has a video post, linked here on TU, I believe. He states he’s 41, an Iraq vet and FT student. His beef, is he wants the school to let him head a non-violent, sober fountain day. Uh huh, this after he declares he smoked weed and chained himself to the fountain. WOW!

besides, yes they should turn the fountain on, I like that security investigated, then left him there – I guessing he hasn’t seen the weather forcast for the next couple nights until his buddy comes back from his weekend away

You bunch of fascists!! This guy is exercising his rights for a cause he believes in….first the Fountain, THEN he’ll end the was. Baby steps people. I once chained myself to a Baskin Robbins that was gonna close, so I feel his pain.

Let’s not confuse this guy with the meatheads on campus complaining about Fountain Day being called off due to the ruckus they caused on Hudson St. He’s a 41 yo war vet with PTSD and other “issues” that have made him pretty well known to campus security.

Doing anything other than ignoring him is like paying attention to those people that walk around with “the end is near” signs.
